Exceptional circumstances for the removal of land north of Milverton from the green belt have not been demonstrated. There are sustainable sites closer to Coventry which have lower green belt value. Productive farmland will be lost along with important habitats and an area which is used for recreation. the green lung between Kenilworth and Leamington will be reduced, leading a coalescence of the two towns. Use of sites closer to Coventry will reduce unnecessary commuting, road congestion and pollution.
the park and ride is unlikely to be viabale and will not be convenient as it won't have a dedicated bus service. There is also adequate parking in Leamington and the site is located too close to the town. Further the major employers are south of the towns.
